Resting Revised

This peom is a revisted of an unfinshed poem way back in my early years of college. This poem was a exploration of my feeling of being lost while having hope that my final moments in life will make it all worth it

Drifting away from reality

is nothing more then a pleasurable habit for the self destructive

Hoping the need of a restart

Without putting the effort to change anything about it

The craving for something that resembled death

Without the commitment of never going back to life

Something the beckons to all those considered living

An ending that that all must face

The moment we took our first breath

The brain, heart and soul are known as the essentials

The necessity of our daily life

The basics of what is consider something living

Despite the opportunities of being real

We never ask to be put here

Force to deal with the hardships of being born depending the circumstance

We want to cry,

to mourn for the things that we can’t comprehend

We want to understand

The things that will leave our consciousness beyond repair

We want to feel

.

To touch the surfaces that can rip our physical vessel to our basic shapes

While the spirit is infinite

But the body that holds the heart and mind has its limits

The dreaming of being free form the expectations of the living

Is a dream that only the dead can experience

and for the living to envy

Wishing to erase everything about ourselves

To ease us to our final moments

So that spirit can no longer hold onto the memories

That our hearts bleed for

That our minds made broken for

For something that brings us nothing but dread

For something that paralyzed us with fear

But knowing the reward would be worth it

Is enough to keep us living

To keep us thriving

To make spend time to those we love

To be at peace

Once our last breath takes place.
